Course Summary
Professional engineers must be aware of the economic, social and environmental context of engineering.

Lectures will be given by visiting experts as well as members of staff.

The course comprises a range of lectures given by guest speakers from industry, government, regulatory bodies and non-academic groups from within the University. Students will learn about professional skills (e.g. time management, health & safety, entrepreneurship, intellectual property, design for manufacture), as well as being introduced to important aspects of Systems Engineering (with a range of case studies).
